POWER DELIVERY MASTER PLAN - WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK
PWP is in the process of creating an important document for the benefit of power delivery planning. The Power Delivery Master Plan (PDMP) is a detailed strategic plan focused on addressing critical challenges, long-term strategies, and future guidance in order to maintain a safe, reliable, sustainable and economically sound power delivery system.
 
PWP wants the community's feedback on this project. Join us on Thursday, November 7 at the Robinson Park Recreation Center at 6 PM. We'll be discussing this project and receiving public input.
PWP CELEBRATES PUBLIC POWER WEEK AT LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Utilities across the U.S celebrate Public Power Week every year to encourage community engagement with customers and stakeholders alike. This year, PWP hosted an event at local Don Benito Elementary School. On Wednesday, October 9, PWP brought bucket trucks, tools, and interactive experiments to provide students with hands-on learning. Students from each grade level had the opportunity to meet a PWP employee, explore their everyday job and equipment, and gain an inside look at their local utility.

By collaborating with Don Benito Elementary School, PWP was able to provide nearly 500 students with a memorable morning of learning and hands-on STEM (“Science, Technology, Engineering, Math”) experiences.
ARROYO SECO CANYON PROJECT - CEQA SCOPING MEETING
The Arroyo Seco Canyon Project (ASCP) endeavors to take a multi-benefit approach to improving PWP's water resources by addressing the shortcomings of its existing infrastructure, while also enhancing the natural habitat and the recreational experience for visitors of the local trail system into the Angeles National Forest. PWP has been working towards preparing an Environmental Impact Report regarding the ASCP, and currently the initial phase of this process has begun.

Information and important documents will be made public by mid-October, and PWP is seeking feedback and public input this November during a CEQA scoping meeting. Join us on November 21 at Robinson Park Recreation Center at 6 PM.
IMAGINE A DAY WITHOUT WATER
Imagine no water to drink, or even to make coffee with. No water to shower, flush the toilet or do laundry. In October, communities nationwide recognized the importance and value of water.

Without dedicated employees, long-term planning and community support, Pasadena wouldn’t have the high quality, dependable water service of today. PWP is currently undergoing several projects aimed at upgrading aging infrastructure, planning for future water demands, and exploring new opportunities for water supplies. PWP works hard to reinvest in water supply development, replace infrastructure and manage a work force ensuring that water is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week – so that Pasadena doesn’t have to endure a day without water.
WATER SYSTEMS AND RESOURCE PLAN - COMMUNITY MEETINGS THIS NOVEMBER
For the past eight months Pasadena Water and Power has been working towards the development of the Water Systems Resource Plan (WSRP). This important document will lay the groundwork for identifying the long-term capital and water resource planning that focuses on aging infrastructure, future water demands, existing water resources and opportunities for new water supplies.
 
PWP will be hosting community meetings on Thursday, November 14 at Robinson Park Recreation Center and on Wednesday, November 20 at Victory Park . Meetings start at 6 PM. Join us on either date to provide feedback!
